DENTAL IMAGING TEACHING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240339047 titled 'DENTAL IMAGING TEACHING APPARATUS
The dental imaging teaching apparatus described in the patent application consists of a light source, a tooth model, and an imaging plate. The light source emits visible light, the tooth model is partially transparent to visible light, and the imaging plate has a grid pattern.
- The tooth model features nodes and connections that form a mesh structure, providing a detailed representation of the tooth anatomy.
- The imaging plate includes graduations in the form of a grid, aiding in accurate positioning and alignment during imaging procedures.
- This apparatus eliminates the ambiguities and challenges associated with traditional x-ray techniques, improving radiography technology and reducing the need for repetitive imaging.
- By minimizing unnecessary radiation exposure for patients, this innovation enhances safety in dental imaging procedures.
- The apparatus is designed for educational purposes, offering a practical tool for teaching periapical projection techniques in oral and maxillofacial imaging.
Potential Applications: - Dental schools and training programs for teaching dental imaging techniques - Dental clinics and practices for improving accuracy and efficiency in radiography procedures
Problems Solved: - Ambiguities and difficulties in traditional x-ray projection techniques - Excessive radiation exposure due to repetitive imaging - Lack of practical tools for teaching periapical projection techniques
Benefits: - Enhanced accuracy and efficiency in dental imaging procedures - Reduced radiation exposure for patients - Improved educational resources for teaching dental imaging techniques
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Dental Imaging Teaching Apparatus Revolutionizes Dental Education This technology can be commercialized for use in dental schools, training programs, and dental clinics to enhance teaching and practice in dental imaging techniques.
Questions about Dental Imaging Teaching Apparatus: 1. How does the tooth model in the apparatus improve the understanding of dental anatomy? The tooth model's mesh structure with nodes and connections provides a detailed representation of tooth anatomy, aiding in educational and diagnostic purposes.
2. What are the key benefits of using the imaging plate with a grid pattern in dental imaging procedures? The grid pattern on the imaging plate helps in accurate positioning and alignment during imaging, leading to improved precision and efficiency in dental radiography.
Original Abstract Submitted
a dental imaging teaching apparatus includes a light source, a tooth model and an imaging plate. the light source is configured to emit visible light, and the tooth model is at least partially transparent to visible light. the imaging plate is provided with graduations in the form of a grid. the tooth model includes a plurality of nodes and connections. the plurality of nodes is connected by the connections, forming a mesh. this dental imaging teaching apparatus avoids the ambiguities and operating difficulties associated with the conventional x-ray projection techniques, enhances radiography technology and reduces imaging repetitions, effectively reducing a patient's unnecessary exposure to the harmful radiation due to such repetitions. moreover, it can be easily applied to teaching and professional education, and as the first periapical projection teaching apparatus, it improves the theoretical system of periapical projection technology for oral and maxillofacial imaging for medical use.
